The Magic 8 Cifras

[For original song tuning, transpose -4 so it begins in Fm.]
 
[Verse 1]
Am                       Am
It seems she finally got a taste of fame
                    E7       Am
Caught a break, and critical acclaim
                          E7            Dm
A glass of champagne, she started feeling safe
                E7
The black magic 8
                       Am
No, it didn't feel the same
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am           Am
And tomorrow's now misunderstood
                    Am
'Cause it's reading “outlook not so good”
                    Dm
If these signs would point to "yes"
    E7                 Am
She could maybe feel the same
 
 
[Chorus]
E7                           F
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks
    E7                               Am
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith
      G                         F
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way
E7                       Am
Shake the magic 8 until it breaks
 
 
[Verse 2]
E7                    Am
So concentrate and ask again
 
Are we at the end?
E7              Am
We’rе starting to begin and mend
             E7           Dm
Oh, but then is happinеss a trend?
                    E7
A friend, they once said
                      Am
There's beauty in the pain
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
              Am
And tomorrow's now misunderstood
                    Am
'Cause it's reading “outlook not so good”
                    Dm
If these signs would point to "yes"
    E7                 Am
She could maybe feel the same
 
 
[Chorus]
   E7                      F
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks
    E7                               Am
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith
      G                         F
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way
E7
Shake the magic 8 until it
Am
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
             F         E7
It breaks my heart every time
            C                   D7
Losing all rhythm and losing all rhyme
             F
Control your fate, fate, fate
    E7                       Am
And shake the magic 8 until it breaks
 
 
[Bridge]
   G           Am
As she wipes her tears, she understands
                      C
That some things are simply out of hand
                 Dm                E7
So she bides her time and counts the sand
 
And leans into the pain
 
[Chorus]
   E7                      F
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks
    E7                               Am
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith
      G                         F
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way
E7
Shake the magic 8 until it
Am
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
             F         E7
It breaks my heart every time
            C                   D7
Losing all rhythm and losing all rhyme
             F
Control your fate, fate, fate
    E7
And shake the magic 8 until it
Am
It breaks, it breaks, the magic 8 until it breaks
  F      E7     C      D7
(Heart, time, rhythm, rhyme)
              F
Control your fate, fate, fate
    E7                        Am
And shake the magic 8 until it breaks
